[Vision2020] Our Captured GIs

[rvrcowboy]

I am curious as to the thoughts of people like Nick Gier regarding the two American soldiers recently abducted from the road checkpoint south of Baghdad.  While Nick is quick to criticize the mission of our troops and post every story detrimental to them and their mission here on the forum, I have heard nothing from him about our two captured American GIs.  

 

Wouldn't it be great if only we could hope these two soldiers would be treated as well as those suspected terrorists at Gitmo?  If they were, we could be sure they were being sheltered and offered clean clothing and daily food, of their own religious confection no less.  We would know they were being provided with Bibles and given time to pray to their God in Heaven.  We would know they had access to showers and toilet facilities and personal toiletries. 

 

The families of these soldiers would feel great relief if they only knew their sons, brothers, fathers, and loved ones were going to be facing interrogations backed up by anything as humane as sleep deprivation or solitary confinement.  Even the possibility of their loved ones having to face barking dogs, a little personal humiliation or perhaps even being stripped naked and forced to wear their underwear over their heads would be a relief compared to the thoughts of what may well happen to these two American soldiers if they are not found and freed soon.

 

Yes, I am curious what people like Nick Gier think of these young American men.  Do they believe they deserve what they get?   After all, they volunteered to serve in a military commanded by the great war criminal, George Bush, himself!  Surely, they knew they would be called upon to commit war crimes of their own under such circumstances.  Doesn't that make them criminals in his mind as well?  I can only imagine people like Gier celebrating the demise of these fine young men.  Oh sure, they talk about supporting the troops but we all know that is hogwash.  It is impossible to support someone you believe is voluntarily committing war crimes and murder, even if it is under orders.  After all, they could have stayed home and cowered down, like terrified chickens in the Methodist Church in Tacoma.

 

As for the rest of us, I hope we are all praying for their safe return home to their families.  I know that my entire family and I are.  How about the rest of you?
